?Can I claim expenses if I’ve lost the receipts?

Some expense don’t require receipts. However, there’s a strict policy on receipts for other expense types. Your Account Manager can tell you what you need to provide.

?Am I guaranteed a refund?

No. It depends on certain things such as how much tax you paid, the income you earned and any offsets / expenses that can be claimed against your tax. Ultimately, the decision rests with the Australian Tax Office (ATO).

However, we’ll do everything possible to reduce your tax liability and get as much as we legally can for any refunds.

?Will I be fined if I don’t file a tax return?

After the deadline on October 31st, the Australian Tax Office will apply a penalty of $170 for every 28 days your tax return is late. We can send you reminders so you don’t miss it!

The best course of action is to file when the tax year ends on June 30th so you don’t forget.

?How long does it take?

Normally around 10 – 14 working days. However, if you file during busy tax seasons, it could take longer. This includes preparing your filing summary, awaiting your approval, submitting it to the ATO and receiving your Notice of Assessment.

?Are you a registered tax agent?

Yes! Taxback.com has a certified tax agent registered with the Australian Tax Agents Board, John Comino, who is based in Sydney and has been filing Australian Tax returns for more than 10 years.

My time in Australia when coming around to tax return time has been made extremely easy thanks to Niamh and the rest of the Taxback.com team and the free quote service they provide. All I have to do is fill out two forms, attach my previous pay slips and the next time I am contacted is to be told how much I will be due back and whether I would like taxback.com to file my return. Last year was also very helpful when I recommended a few people from work to Taxback.com and so got my return done for a reduced fee. All in all, it’s a very hassle-free way to get your return done and dusted within a few weeks. Recommended Taxback.com last year to friends and have done the same again this year.
